Definitely faster than my old drives. A bit early to say for sure but haven't missed a beat so far.

This hard drive offers fast sustained write speeds. Was getting 227 MB/s write speeds copying large video and RAW photos over from a SSD. The only thing is the drive's a bit noisy. I have a quiet case but still noticed the noise level this drive produces compared to my older WD Black Drive.

The first one of these was DOA but the RMA process via NCIX was easy enough amd the second is working fine. I think the drive is pretty good but also expensive with a price tag close to $500.

-big capacity; -good warranty time (5 years) and data recovery assistance (for the first 2 years I believe; -fast drive

-little louder than I thought it would be and slow to spin up fully at boot

Seagate's standard BarraCuda desktop hard drive range ends at 4TB, the BarraCuda Pro range however, goes way past this to the new flagship of the lineup, the leviathan 12TB drive. Although there are even bigger drives to be had in the enterprise segment, in the desktop space, the 12TB BarraCuda Pro...

Huge capacity; 5-year warranty

Expensive

This hard drive is the fastest, vastest currently available for storing and transferring large files.

A whopping 12TB of capacity; Remarkable 250MBps sustained transfers; 5-year warranty and 2 years of data recovery

Expensive; especially if you mirror two for data safety

Performance-wise, both drives manage to deliver what that Seagate claims. As we can see from our test, despite the Barracuda Pro and the Skyhawk looked exactly the same externally and have the same specs, we can see just how Seagate has optimized the drives for its target market.

Great Performance; 10TB of storage; highest on the market today; Good warranty:3 year for Skyhawk and 5 year for Barracuda Pro warranty; Low power consumption rating; Excellent price per performance/gb ratio; Enterprise performance and spec but at consumer price

Lower endurance rating than enterprise drive; Higher per gigabyte ratio than smaller capacity drive; Lower warranty length (Skyhawk only

Seagate continues to deliver with its helium-filled 10TB solutions. With their entry into the mainstream, there is no way you can ignore the price or performance of the Barracuda Pro hard drive.

This drive has a transfer rate just under half of some very fast SSD drives I have...for a mechanical drive, it's freakin' fast!

Installed and formatted with no problems; Formats at 9.09TB...will hold massive amounts of data...even a ton of Blu-ray movies; Used CrystalDiskMark to benchmark and got very good transfer rates: Sequential Read: 245.6MB/s Sequential Write: 232.6MB/s I also did a real time data transfer from my...

So far; I have no complaints at all about this drive

You might wonder why we need these traditional 'old school' technology hard drives these days. But now that I have one in my new computer build, it definitely makes a lot of sense.

Unfortunately, we had 2 of the 5 drives go bad and report bad sectors. i have not gone through the RMA process 4 times and still do not have replacement drives. they make you pay for advanced replacement, their credit card processing does not work and people contact you about the case with no intent...
